Aggregation of platelets, stimulated by different agonists, was inhibited by omitting sample stirring or by preincubation of platelets with a monoclonal antibody against glycoproteins IIb-IIIa or with a pentapeptide containing the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser. In platelets stimulated by collagen, ADP and epinephrine, the inhibition of aggregation paralleled a reduction of both release reaction and thromboxane A2 formation. When thrombin was the stimulus, ATP release and thromboxane A2 production were unaffected (or only slightly modified) by the inhibition of platelet aggregation. These data add further evidence to the hypothesis that aggregation supports the activation of platelets stimulated by weak agonists.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009842 Oligopeptides Peptides composed of between two and twelve amino acids. Oligopeptide
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D010975 Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors Drugs or agents which antagonize or impair any mechanism leading to blood platelet aggregation, whether during the phases of activation and shape change or following the dense-granule release reaction and stimulation of the prostaglandin-thromboxane system.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
